Hale check on triptans (new edition)

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Everyone I ask has the old edition of Hale's book. I believe there might be some updated info on these drugs I am researching. Can anyone give me info on the following migraine meds (triptans)?

Amerge
Axert and
Frova

These are the only ones that work for me without unbearable side effects. Amerge isn't as good as the others. I was taking Imitrex because it seems it is universally trusted for nursing moms by health practitioners.

TIA

From the 2008 version:

Amerge: L3 (doesn't refer to any recent research)
Axert: L3
Frova: L3

It doesn't look as if there's anything new but I'd be more than happy to send you the details from the book if that would help. Just pm me an e-mail address.

I take imitrex. I haven't researched it in a while but I must have been told at some point it was ok. Probably not great, but ok. I try to take it sparingly but sometimes I really need it!
